Industrial Roofing Scotlandsingle ply Approved Roofing Contractor – Sarnafil, Sikaplan and Single Ply Roof Projects
Modern Roofing (Scotland) Ltd is a approved single ply roofing contractor with experience installing Sarnafil roofing, Sikaplan single ply membranes and other single ply roof systems on commercial and industrial buildings across Scotland.
Sarnafil is one of the most recognised names in commercial flat roofing. It is widely specified and discussed on projects where building owners, surveyors, facilities managers and main contractors are looking for a modern waterproofing system with strong detailing and long-term roof protection.
Our team has worked on roof projects involving Sarnafil, Sarnafil flat roofing, Sikaplan and wider single ply roofing systems where ageing, leaking or poorly performing roofs need to be refurbished properly.
We work on live commercial and industrial sites where the roof has to be planned and carried out without unnecessary disruption to the building below. Whether the project involves a Sarnafil specification, a Sikaplan membrane system, a warm roof upgrade, roof overlay, localised detailing or phased roof works, we provide clear advice and practical roofing experience.
A Sarnafil roof is only as good as the survey, specification, preparation and workmanship behind it. Before any single ply roofing route is recommended, we assess the existing roof condition, deck, insulation, drainage, upstands, outlets, plant penetrations and access restrictions.
Commercial Sarnafil Roofing for Live Buildings
Modern Roofing has experience with Sarnafil roofing systems on occupied commercial and industrial properties where water ingress, failed details, old felt systems, damaged membranes, poor drainage or ageing roof coverings are causing problems.
A correctly specified Sarnafil or single ply roofing system can help extend the life of the building and reduce the disruption caused by repeated leaks. These systems are commonly used on warehouses, factories, schools, universities, retail units, production facilities, industrial estates and commercial premises where the building must remain operational during roofing works.
Sarnafil Roofing
Sarnafil is a well-known single ply flat roofing system used on commercial and industrial buildings. It is often chosen where clients need modern waterproofing, reliable detailing and long-term roof protection.
Sikaplan Roofing Systems
Sikaplan is part of the same wider single ply roofing range and has a long track record in commercial and industrial flat roofing. The right system depends on the roof design, specification, substrate, insulation build-up and fixing method.
single ply Single Ply Membranes
single ply membranes can provide a lightweight, modern waterproofing solution for roof refurbishment, new roof areas, insulated warm roof build-ups and phased commercial roofing works.
Sarnafil Membrane with Standing Seam Decor Profiles
One interesting Sarnafil project from a number of years ago involved a roof with a distinctive shape and standing seam decor profiles. Modern Roofing installed the Sarnafil membrane and detailing to suit the roof geometry, creating a clean architectural finish rather than a plain flat membrane appearance.
It remains a good example of how Sarnafil can be used where the roof shape, upstands and decorative profiles need careful setting out and neat workmanship. The project was completed a long time ago and the roof is still going strong.
Why Clients Choose Sarnafil Roof Refurbishment
Many commercial roofs across Scotland reach a stage where patch repairs are no longer enough. Leaks keep returning, outlets struggle, old roof coverings begin to fail, and details around rooflights, upstands and penetrations become weak points. In these situations, a Sarnafil roof refurbishment may provide better long-term value than repeatedly paying for short-term repairs.
Our Sarnafil Roofing Approach
A successful Sarnafil roof starts before the membrane is installed. Modern Roofing looks at the existing roof construction, drainage, falls, insulation, deck, upstands, edge details, access points and the way the building is used. This allows the correct single ply roofing route to be considered from the start.
Roof Survey
We inspect the existing roof condition, leak history, drainage, roof build-up and site access before advising on Sarnafil, Sikaplan or any single ply option.
Specification
We consider whether Sarnafil, Sikaplan, liquid applied systems, gutter lining or another refurbishment method is best suited to the building.
Installation Planning
Works are planned around the live building, with controlled access, clear sequencing and proper attention to details, outlets and penetrations.
Long-Term Protection
The aim is to provide a roof system that improves waterproofing, reduces recurring leaks and gives the client better long-term value.
Sarnafil Roofing for Industrial and Commercial Sectors
Modern Roofing works across sectors where flat roof performance matters. Our clients often need more than a basic roof repair. They need a contractor who understands occupied buildings, production environments, access issues, plant on roofs, drainage problems, roof safety, phased works and the importance of keeping water out of the building.
We have experience with Sarnafil roofing, Sikaplan single ply roofing and flat roofing systems for factories, warehouses, offices, schools, universities, leisure buildings, food and drink facilities, retail premises and public sector properties.

Sarnafil & Sikaplan Roofing FAQs
What is Sarnafil roofing?
Sarnafil is a recognised single ply flat roofing system used on commercial, industrial and public sector buildings. It is commonly used for flat roof waterproofing, roof refurbishment and modern roofing upgrades.
Is Modern Roofing an approved single ply roofing contractor?
Yes. Modern Roofing (Scotland) Ltd is an approved single ply roofing contractor with experience installing Sarnafil, Sikaplan and single ply roofing systems on commercial and industrial roof projects across Scotland.
Has Modern Roofing installed Sarnafil roofing systems?
Yes. Modern Roofing has experience installing Sarnafil roofing systems as part of commercial and industrial flat roof projects where Sarnafil has been specified or selected for the roof works.
Is Sarnafil suitable for industrial roof refurbishment?
Sarnafil can be suitable for industrial roof refurbishment when the existing roof condition, deck, insulation, drainage and detailing are assessed properly. It is often considered where clients need a modern single ply waterproofing system.
What is the difference between Sarnafil and Sikaplan?
Sarnafil started as a specialist Swiss roofing membrane brand before becoming part of a wider global roofing manufacturer. The Sarnafil name has a long history in single ply roofing, which is why it remains one of the best-known names in commercial flat roof waterproofing.
Sikaplan is also part of the same wider single ply roofing range and has a long track record in commercial and industrial flat roofing. Both Sarnafil and Sikaplan are single ply membrane systems used for flat roof waterproofing, refurbishment and new roof projects.
Both names remain in use because Sarnafil has powerful brand recognition and a long specification history, while Sikaplan gives clients, specifiers and contractors another established single ply option for suitable roof projects.
In practical terms, the right choice depends on the roof specification, fixing method, substrate, insulation build-up, warranty requirements, budget and the type of project.
Can Sarnafil be used on an existing flat roof?
In some cases, Sarnafil or Sikaplan may be suitable as part of a refurbishment or overlay approach. The existing roof should be assessed first to check condition, moisture risk, deck suitability, drainage and detailing.
